Brittany slammed her tray down on the lunch table.
"Okay, what did he do this time?" Jeanette asked.
Brittany stayed quiet, angrily chomping on a piece of celery.
Eleanore fiddled with her new bracelet. "If you cant tell your sisters, who cant you tell."
"Where did you get that bracelet?" Brittany asked her.
"Theodore gave it to me for our one year anniversary yesterday. It's emerald and jade."
"I got an amethyst and sapphire one for our anniversary as well. It was yesterday. Didn't you get one?" Jeanette asked.
"Alvin had other ideas." She mumbled.
"Again? He's always trying to make second base with you." Jeanette moaned.
"It's sort of a compliment." Eleanore said, blushing at the thought of Theodore doing that.
"Me and Simon both kinda want to but we think in another six months."
"This is sooo unfair. Both your boyfriends are understanding and sweet. Jeanette, in six months, I'll be ready as well."
Alvin walked over from the table with his brothers.
"Brittany, I'm sorry." Alvin told her.
Brittany looked away slurping her smoothie.
"Will this help?" He asked her.
Brittany peered at the bracelet.
"It's ruby and rose quartz if you're wondering." He told her.
"Thank you Alvin and I except your apology. But perhaps talk to your brothers about what they think especially Simon." Brittany told him sweetly.
"Oh and don't forget about tonight!" Eleanor called to him.
………
"It's time for seven minutes in heaven." Brittany shouted.
The whole room went silent.
"Alvin, which name did you pick from the bowl?" Brittany asked.
"Boy, this'll be awkward." Alvin muttered. "Jeanette!"
Jeanette walked over to Alvin, blushing.
"Okay guys! In the closet!" Brittany hollered to her sister and boyfriend.
As the door shut, Jeanette smiled at him.
"Listen, Alvin, we have to talk." Jeanette told him.
"Same. Simon's waiting that long for you. The dude's crazy."
"No, he loves me. An you would do the same if you loved Brittany."
Realising he was beaten, he lunged in and kissed her.
He's a good kisser. Jeanette thought. But he's not sweet like Simon.
Pulling away, she looked at him.
"What was that for?" Jeanette asked.
"Intelligence is cute, it's too bad Brittany doesn't talk like that." Alvin told her.
"Brittany is smart." Jeanette defended her sister.
"I like you Jeanette. Simon's a lucky guy."
"Is it me or does Brittany flirt with Simon?" I asked him.
"She does. She likes him how I like you." Alvin gazed into her blue eyes.
"And how is that?" Jeanette asked.
"Like an alternative, if Brittany and I ever broke and if you ever broke up, you would be the first person I'd talk to."
"But do you guys like each other?" Jeanette asked. It sounded like he didn't love her sister.
"I love her but you know…" Alvin looked away. "She never wants to talk."
The two sat in the closet quietly.
"Time is up!" Brittany shouted.
The doors flung open. The light was dazzling after the darkness of the closet.
"Aww!" Everyone groaned.
Nothing had seemed to have happened.
Good thing too.
……………..
So that last part was so you understood how Simonand Jeanette and Alvin and Brittany's relationships are hanging by a delicate string. So, do you like it/love it/ hate it/ wish it were real/wish it was a film? Me too, to the last one.
